insert_iterator<Container>& operator=( const typename Container::value_type& value ); |  | (since C++11) (until C++20)

| (2) |
insert_iterator<Container>& operator=( typename Container::value_type&& value ); |  | (since C++11) (until C++20)
constexpr insert_iterator<Container>& operator=( typename Container::value_type&& value ); |  | (since C++20)

Inserts the given value value to the container.

1) Results in iter = container->insert(iter, value); ++iter;.
2) Results in iter = container->insert(iter, std::move(value)); ++iter;.

### Parameters

value | - | the value to insert

### Return value

*this

### Notes

This function exploits the signature compatibility between hinted insert for associative containers (such as std::set::insert) and positional insert for sequential containers (such as std::vector::insert).

### Example

Run this code

    #include <deque>
    #include <iostream>
    #include <iterator>

    int main()
    {
        std::deque<int> q;
        std::insert_iterator<std::deque<int>> it(q, q.begin());

        for (int i = 0; i < 10; ++i)
            it = i; // inserts i

        for (auto& elem : q)
            std::cout << elem << ' ';
        std::cout << '\n';
    }

Output:

    0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
